WASHINGTON – Meet Plato and Waffles.

Waffles is a low-rider; we’re guessing he’s a Dachshund/Basset hound mix, although only his mother knows for sure. What we can say with certainty is that this 5- month- old is a pup looking for a party!

He’s bouncy, playful, energetic, and always ready for a fun time.

Like Waffles, Plato is 5 months old, but a bit calmer. Although he enjoys playing — what puppy doesn’t — Plato is something of a lover boy, who will just as happily climb into your lap for a cuddle.

WTOP Living is partnering with the Washington Animal Rescue League to feature a Pet of the Week available for adoption. For more information about Plato and Waffles, email adoption@warl.org or call 202-726-2556 ext. 503.
